9780738590912 0738590916 Green County was founded on December 20, 1792, out of portions of Lincoln and Nelson Counties. Named after Revolutionary War hero Gen. Nathanael Greene, it was the 16th county formed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Established by a legislative act in 1794, Greensburg became the county seat and the economic hub of Green County. Although the county has experienced boom periods with the iron industry and oil exploration and development, those periods have unfortunately proven unsustainable. Yet, the county has shown resilience in overcoming challenges. The continuing strength of Green County's agricultural base combined with the growth of small businesses in Green County, particularly in Greensburg, signal a resurgence in the economic activity within the county's borders.
